Configuring Automatic Route Distinguishers

If you configure the route-distinguisher-id statement at the [edit routing-options] hierarchy level, a route distinguisher is automatically assigned to the routing instance. If you also configure the route-distinguisher statement in addition to the route-distinguisher-id statement, the value configured for route-distinguisher supersedes the value generated from route-distinguisher-id.

To assign a route distinguisher automatically, include the route-distinguisher-id statement:

route-distinguisher-id ip-address;

You can include the route-distinguisher-id statement at the following hierarchy levels:

A type 1 route distinguisher is automatically assigned to the routing instance using the format ip-address:number. The IP address is specified by the route-distinguisher-id statement and the number is unique for the routing instance.
